#42, Cyber Zombie Bodyguard (IE)

#42 is one of the many cyber zombies used by the Iron Empire. Most of them are completely interchangeable, having lost all form of human consciousness and individuality. But as unthinkable as it may seem, there appears to be a very small light still flickering in the mind of #42.

She used to be a very strong-willed Jailbird warrior who got killed during a particularly violent Iron Empire raid. Her body was scavenged by the Iron Empire embalmers who set her alongside the most promising victims of their grim harvest. Her body was still in a very good condition and her strong musculature made her a perfect choice to be recycled as a bodyguard for a high-ranking character.

When Lady Hilda von Stroheim asked for a full replacement of her bodyguard crew, #42 was appointed to her service and soon proved to be her most effective protector.

THE IRON EMPIRE (IE)The Iron Empire is made up of exiled people that have somehow stumbled upon necromantic knowledge from alien pharaonic gods. They combine Prussian and Germanic influences with some kind of Aegyptian cyber necromancy that allow them to raise the dead and create bio-mechanical aberrations.
